Created specifically for medium and large enterprises, the IBM System
Storage™ DS8000 series offers high-capacity storage systems that are
designed to deliver a generation-skipping leap in performance, scalability,
resiliency and value.
The DS8000 series is designed to provide exceptional performance while
adding virtualization capabilities that can help you allocate system resources
more effectively and better control application quality of service (QoS). The
DS8000 series also offers powerful functions that are designed to help
protect data from unforeseen events and maintain data availability, which can
benefit businesses that must have round the clock access to information.
• Exceptional flexibility and scalability. The current physical storage
capacity of the DS8000 series system can range from 1.1TB to 512TB,
and it has an architecture designed to scale to over a petabyte.
• Significant availability enhancements. IBM System Storage
FlashCopy®, Global and Metro Mirror functions, and streamlined
configuration and management capabilities through the easy-to-use
IBM DS Storage Manager are just some of the many additional
advanced features of the DS8000 series.
• Innovative design creates impressive performance. With 4Gb fibre
technology, the DS8000 models are as much as seven times faster
than the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server® (ESS) Model
800.
• Utilizing IBM POWER5+™ processor technology, the DS8000 series
delivers the first use of the IBM Virtualization Engine™, which is
designed to bring to disk storage systems the logical partition flexibility
usually reserved for enterprise-class servers.
